Hey West LA... South Bay here... Matching you with 17 mpg, all city.

GuamX1 · 07-06-2012, 01:06 AM

08 135i, 14.2 mpg, 08 128i, 17.2 mpg

alvitdk · 07-06-2012, 04:20 AM

Depending on my driving mood that week, between 21 and 27mpg. 50/50 mix backroads and HW.

MA128 · 07-06-2012, 10:04 AM

25mpg average at 50/50 local/highway. 29mg on long highway rides at 70-80MPH.

Mikbek · 07-06-2012, 01:23 PM

I am averaging 23.2 on my 2012 135i, 6mt with 1,500 total miles. I am not trying to get mileage meaning every corner and stop sign deserves a nice jack rabbit start. Also leave it in lower gears for acceleration fun in areas near where I live where I enjoy spirited corner carving. Impressive IMHO. Still waiting for the PPK to be installed and that might make a difference but I completely love the car. Outstanding car for what I purchased it for (toy for joy driving only really). Washed it this morning...not sure what people are looking at when they say it is an ugly car. I happen to think it is unique and muscular in its appearance. Great looking car!! Not a chick car by any means like I feel the TT is.

P.S. Forgot to mention, I use 93 Octane without Ethanol...not sure it matters but some of you more knowledgable than I may know if that makes a difference.

Exite · 07-06-2012, 02:28 PM

According to the computer in the car it says 29.7 mostly highway. I think really it's more like 27 though.

JM_128 · 07-06-2012, 04:24 PM

24mpg mostly on Highways mine is a 128 M package but I try to use cruise control whenever I can on the Highway, sometimes it gets boring though

CDN_135i · 07-07-2012, 12:30 AM

I get about 9-10l/100km so about 24-27 mpg and about 70% hwy. I drive slow as shit on the hwy though usually I set the cruise to 105 which is about 65. If you do the math going faster only really nets you a few minutes per trip so I decided to Starr driving slower. Of course there sometimes comes comes the time where's you might need to drive 140

. In the city I like to give it a good amount of gas to feel the jb kick in so it's not like I am a total senior citizen.

turbo1 · 03-22-2013, 02:10 PM

14.7mpg in hawaii.. constantly.. 5k miles then reset it, getting 14.8 right now after about 200miles

Zombie1 · 03-22-2013, 02:15 PM

I'm actually happy with what I've been getting out of my 1 I've been avg 17.5 in the first 200miles I've had the car

but I didn't get it for fuel efficiency

631twentyeighteye · 03-22-2013, 02:27 PM

25mpg DDing, 18 playing around.

socal135 · 03-22-2013, 02:52 PM

17.4 mpg in my 2013 135is. Mainly weekend driving LA south bay area.

I'm also in Honolulu and get a little less, about 14.0 per tankful. The first year of ownership I reset the trip odometer every tank full and calculated it out. It was pretty consistent. I complained about it based on sticker claims and was told that was normal for city driving when city driving means strictly in town. If I run to the north shore it improves to 17, maybe 18 per tankful. I'd like to test the highway mpg but that's kind of impossible here. I didn't buy this car for mileage, but it's still disappointing to only get 14. Fortunately, I don't drive that much so that kind of mileage doesn't hit my budget too bad.

LMAO! It is disappointing isn’t it?!? my evo viii got close to 17 mpg and my 05' ram 1500 got 12mpg... Ai yai yai, I guess we fall into the gas guzzler category out here! You do any of the meets?

DtE1 · 03-22-2013, 04:01 PM

Getting 22.3 mpg over 29,000+ miles with 70/30 mix highway/city driving. Not a DD.

Han_ · 03-22-2013, 04:02 PM

I get an avg of 27-28.5... Although its an n51 sulev... With a BMW PE... Drive mostly highway 20% city...

Groundzero · 03-22-2013, 04:27 PM

According to the on-board computer, 25.9mpg. Probably a 60/40 split between highway and city. I haven't reset it in over 13k miles.

Yeah, I didn't know I was getting a "muscle car" gas consumption wise. My friend's Toyota Tacoma six cylinder does better. Haven't made any of the meets. My wife and 2 year old daughter suck up all my free time like sweet bread dipped in shoyu chicken gravy. Lol.

08LMB135i · 03-22-2013, 05:14 PM

11.9L/100km over the past 35000km, 8000km of that tuned, including auto x, and winter driving.

I think I've seen your car on the weekends.

EDIT: Spotted a black 135i this morning (Saturday 3/23) at 9am turning right from 190th to Madrona, heading south... Was it you?
